	<h2>About Java Romania</h2>

	<p>This site is dedicated to the Java developers from Romania and all around. This application let any user to create an account and post articles on this site. There is just one application administrator witch can decide if the posted articles can be published or not.</p>

	<p>The entries on this site are divided in 6 categories:</p>
	<p>
	<ul>
		<li><b>NEWS</b> - news from the domain</li>
		<li><b>ARTICLES</b> - effective articles for a given subject</li>
		<li><b>BLOGS</b> - blogs entries</li>
		<li><b>BOOKS</b> - books reviews</li>
		<li><b>JOBS</b> - jobs offers</li>

	</ul>
	<br/>
	</p>
	<p>This application is <i>internationalized</i> so you can choose the desired language from your browser (now just English or Romanian). We want to have content just in romanian language - at least for the overview from the first page. The references can be to pages written in different languages - English for instance.</p>

	<p>In this application development we use Java programming language (a kind of Eat Your Own Dog Food) and just open source libraries and frameworks like <b>Spring, Struts 2, Hibernate, Compass, Lucene, Sitemesh, Acegi, Apache Commons, Rome, JCaptcha, DWR, OsCache, EhCache, CXF, Equinox</b> and also open source tools and servers like <b>Maven 2, Eclipse, Mysql, Jetty, Tomcat</b>. As Javascript framework we use <b>JQuery</b>. Images manipulation is done with <b>GIMP</b>.</p>

	<p>This site is in <i>beta</i> stage. It's optimized for <b>Internet Explorer 7.x</b> and <b>Firefox 3.x</b>. For observations and suggestions you can contact us at this address <a href="mailto:office@javaromania.com">office@javaromania.com</a>. </p>
